Poll: TV Episodes You'll Never See in Reruns

There are some TV episodes that aren't ever repeated for various reasons, and some have even been banned outright. Out of the TV episodes listed below, which would you most like to watch again (or for the first time)?

George Takei and Neville Brand in The Twilight Zone (1959)

Featuring George Takei in one of his earliest roles, as a gardener trapped in an attic with his WWII vet boss, the studio was plagued with complaints about the use of racial slurs, hate speech and implications that Japanese-Americans helped Japan attack Pearl Harbor.

Dexter's Laboratory (1996)

"Dial M for Monkey: Barbequor" was banned because of the characters Silver Spooner, who was a flamboyant gay stereotype, and Krunk, who got drunk and threw up; another theory is that the segment was banned because of Barbequor, a parody of Marvel's Galactus, which reportedly upset the publisher.

Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, and Karin Konoval in The X-Files (1993)

The first network TV episode to be rated TV-M, the extreme violence and incest aspects led Fox to pull it after only one airing and it is not shown in syndication, though it has become a cult classic for fans.

Cow and Chicken (1995)

This episode featured a motorcycle gang of females that breaks into people's homes and chews on their carpets and plays softball while using innuendos about "pitching" and "catching"; Cartoon Network banned it for perpetuating lesbian stereotypes.
